Narrative (may be redacted).

I make a Money Transfer by Western Union from XXXX to XXXX XXXX. I receive a MTCN number for the transaction, but when I went to take the money the western union agent do not have all the money necessary to pay me ( total amount of {$180000.00} - american dollars ). So I receive two checks : one of {$100000.00} and other of {$80000.00}.
The problem is that when I deposit these checks in my bank accounts XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX the bank refused the check of {$100000.00}, saying that the check does not have founds and close my account and hold this check for many days. When I receive the checks back I try to talk with the Western Union, but I do not receive any answers or help even trying to talk with different agents. The XXXX XXXX Bank refused the check too.
I would like to take my money in cash as soon as possible. I am waiting for a solution for about 3 weeks and I can not wait anymore.
